Mercury Editor™ offers an alternative content authoring experience and page builder, replacing the “Add Content” and “Edit Content” forms in Drupal. With Mercury, the content edit form is moved into a resizable offcanvas tray along the right side of the screen, and a live, interactive preview is rendered on the left. Any Layout Paragraphs fields enabled for a content type will be rendered in the “Builder” mode – providing a what-you-see-is-what-you-get page builder for content creators.

Part of the Mercury Editor™ ecosystem


Mercury Editor is the flagship of the Mercury Editor ecosystem. Mercury Editor empowers content editors to create custom layouts in seconds with an easy-to-use Drupal page builder.

Mercury Editor™ Features

  • Create complex layouts in seconds with Mercury’s easy-to-use page builder.
  • Drag-and-drop custom components to build flexible, visually compelling landing pages.
  • Allow content authors to select pre-built templates, enhancing the efficiency of the page building experience for non-technical users.
  • Instantly preview your work for mobile and tablet devices.
